During the 2000s LEM ran the ‘Home Education Assistance Program’ with Merrin Larsen and Glenda Joanknecht - providing comprehensive assistance to countless home school families across Australia. The unsung hero of the HEA program was a man named David Mitchell, a christian minister and highly decorated lawyer, who provided legal advice and assistance to our team at no cost for many years. David was a close family friend and mentor of Peter Frogley and the LEM family were all saddened to hear of his death in May 2018. David’s work was not restricted to LEM and a selection of his various cases and exploits have been put together in a new book by Ballarat minister Dallas Clarnette - including the lawsuit David fought for LEM’s school in South Australia. It is wonderful to see David’s memory live on through this tribute.
